    (continued from previous page)
    Bu there is a very comical story told of this great athlete. One Saturday night he went to bed, and did not wake till Monday morning. Then he got himself ready to go to Mass. When he got out on the road he wondered why none of the neighbours were making for the chaple.
    A bit further on he saw a man working in a field and asked him why he was working on a Sunday.
    "Is that the way with you" Says the workman" "Only that I know that the Bradles were good sleepers I would thing that you had a drop taking."
